Package: logrotate
Version: 3.7.1-3
Severity: normal

My time switched to BST (UK's DST) last night. I have it setup
"properly" ie the system clock is UTC, not the MS Windows way.  When I
ran logrotate on a file today it complained that it had been rotated in
the future. I'm not sure exactly why that happened, but I guess it's
something to do with logrotate using localtime where it would be better
to use gmtime.
